DirtFish Rally School has announced a new partnership with Willow Springs Raceway that will bring the program to the Rosamond, California, facility this winter.

Scheduled for select dates in December 2026 and January 2027, the program puts participants behind the wheel of a rally-prepared rear-wheel-drive Subaru BRZ on a purpose-built off-road course at Walt James Stadium. Following an introduction and vehicle dynamics demonstration, drivers progress through increasingly technical exercises centered on maximizing mechanical grip, mastering weight transfer and executing precise loose-surface car control. The program welcomes both first-time and more experienced dirt drivers looking to sharpen their car-control skills.

"Bringing the thrill of driving rally cars to automotive enthusiasts is a core mission of DirtFish," said Brenten Kelly, DirtFish managing director. "Working with Willow Springs Raceway to deliver our one-day driving experience to California is a big step in growing our long-held ambition of bringing the adrenaline of driving a rally car to a wider audience."

The residency builds on DirtFish's presence at Willow Springs Reimagined on October 17, where attendees took high-speed passenger rides in the Rally School's Subaru BRZs at the Walt James Stadium complex. 

"Bringing DirtFish to Willow Springs represents the next evolution of our mission to deliver world-class driving experiences across every motorsport discipline," said Rick Fedrizzi, general manager at Willow Springs Raceway. Rally driving demands an entirely different relationship with grip and vehicle balance. Pairing DirtFish's premier coaching pedigree and rally-spec machinery with our facility gives West Coast enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience authentic rally driving right here in Southern California."
